Ten thousand spectators who watched the game playedUon a alippery, slimy gridiron in a heavy downpour, saw the two-point score made directly after the opening of the Mcand Pl944 Franklin punt ed titheltougai- 5-yard'line. On the next play Sarboe mfede neatly five yards. Then Devine, Beaver center, blocked Sarboe's kick and the ball rolled behind the goal line and over the end zone, with two Beavers and Sarboe diving after it. The ball was grounded by an Oregon Stater. The only near-scoring attempt by Coach Babe Holllngbery's Cougars came In the- third quar ter when a field goal try by Dah len on his 17-yard line was blocked. At no other period of the game was either team in actual scoring territory. The Cougars' famed passing of fensive was stopped both by the weather and an injury to Ted Chrlstofferson, Hawaiian h a 1 f back, who was hurt early in the game. The northerners attempt ed but one pass. This was in the closing minutes of play and it was Incomplete. The Oregonians tried three overhead plays. One of them was good, but only for two yards. The weather and bad field were unable to check the dashing plays and nimble feet of Sarboe and Magness, Cougar quarters, howev er, and Norman Franklin, 6tar Beaver halfback, continued to dai jle the customers. These three men repeatedly broke through for long gains or for dangerous punt returns. The downs, yardage and other statistics, gave the Beavers the edge in the same proportion as the final score. Oregon State made S first downs against 5 for the Cougars, the latter gaining one from penalty. Yardage net o Mm Beavers 14$ as against 122 by the Cougars.

It so down la history that the Bearcats, 1933 edition, can "take it' and that they have worlds of fight when it is roused. The battle they pat up in the mad sad rain over at McMIm villa Saturday left noth ing to he desired, with every man who got his suit dirty en- - titled to a bi slice of the glory, even" though the -iron man" - performance of Johnny Oravec : took the front rank. A long time ago we read some where that the reason the public preferred football, crew racing and distance running, was that they reailxed "they hurt"; mean ing they recognized the inevitable sacrifice ot bodily comfort par ticipation entailed. We hope the fans who saw Oravec sprint 70 yards for that last touchdown realised that there most have leen agony In every step; and we also hope they saw that 10 other Bearcats 1 were "cutting .them down" so that the only threat to Johnny's progress was from be hind and after he had gone half way. . ; : Despite the 22 to 6 score, Willamette really was the "un der dog, whea it started and what's more, we hate to think - what might have happened had ' ft been a dry afternoon with " more chance for that phenom- tvl Toll - Jj " Belser passing COJIKF Comes Back to Salem Tougher Than Ever "ocir I - ,-. r j, " - V 1 ' f 4 I . - -'' fc s . i J "t- - v i a a. a ' - - .

For the benefit of any new converts, he is Wildcat McCann who was for a couple of years the best drawing card who ever refused to stay inside the ropes at the armory arena. Some times he was popular, sometimes the fans hated him, but he always gave them a run for their money. Xow he's back, making his home here again and ready to meet all comers. While away, he defeated Jack Reynolds, bolder of the welterweight belt, but they didn't give it to the Wildcat, claim ing some technicality. Tuesday night he meets Mickey McGulre, West Salem's pride; and the fans from the communities facing each other across t he Willamette river will turn out to. root for their favorites. combination to work. Even in the slop, they completed nearly every toss in two goalward marches early in the game. And if Oravec hadn't been able to go back in there and act as though he didn't have even- a slight scratch, it would have end ed 6-6 or worse, despite the fact that Williams did most of the b: 11 toting to acquire the decid ing touchdown. While in McMinnville we learned that there is a lot of Linfield spirit over there, both among the students and the townspeople; the business men made it possible for the entire liinfield squad to scout the Willamette-Columbia game a week ago and stay over for the Ore gon State- U. S. C. game the next day. And the students in the stands there yesterday, partly sheltered by a leaky roof, peeled off their raincoats and handed them out to the players on the bench. O We desire to report that those Willamette rooters who braved the elements to see the game were also aroused to the proper degree of fervor, with the result that some of them rashly uprooted the goal posts, though they were greatly outnumbered and didn't manage to get away with them. This week's sports program here opens with golf though the weather, is a bit unconducivc, to say the least. Players who plan to participate in the ambi tions industrial league program are asked to go out and play 18 holes, if they didn't do it Satur day, and turn in cards so the management will be able to line up the teams on something of an equal basis. Tuesday .night will see a sec ond "new deal" in wrestling, when the -Herb Owen crew of wrestlers takes over the task of pleasing the armory customers. The big attraction of course, is the long awaited return of Wild cat McCann, who meets West Sa lem's Mickey McGuire in one of the three equally-rated one-hour bouts. Otis Clingman vs. Rod Fenton and Thor Jensen vs. the Masked Marvel are the others. T. e Americaa Legion Is still In charge and plans to exercise sup ervision and maintain its "wide open" policy. Salem high's gridsters have been occupying the home game spotlight for the last several weeks but this week they go on the road, playing Astoria down at the fish village, while Wil lamette's spiritually rejuvenat ed but badly battered crew will hold the home fort against the traditional invasion of the Pa ", cific Badgers, Saturday night before a' homecoming crowd.

Warburton Scoots 60 Yards To Save Day as California Leads Until Final Quarter MEMORIAL STADIUM, Ber keley, Cal., Oct. 28. (JP) Out of a tangle of legs and arms- today popped a Trojan will o the wisp known as Irvin Warburton to dash 60 yards to goal and on that bril liant run rode a 6-to-3 victory for Southern California over Califor nia's Bears in one ot the most thrill-filled gridiron clashes this great bowl has seen in many seasons. Seventy thousand wildly cheer ing fans had sat through three full periods and five minutes of the final quarter of what appeared destined to be en amazing rever sal of form and the first defeat ot Trojan forces in 27 games. The Bears were battling their tradi tional football foes .on better than even terms by the margin of a field goal scored in the first per iod. The downfall of last ye?.r's na tional mythical champion and two-year holder of the Pacific Coast conference title seemed im minent. Then with a suddenness that left Bear supporters speech less, the picture changed. Down, on the slippery turf, the "mighty mite" of far western gridirons E QUIT CELLAR MacLEAN FIELD, Moscow, Idaho, Oct 28 (JP) On a grid iron that was little more than a bog. the University of Idaho Van dals moved out ot the cellar of the Pacific coast conference by defeating the. University of Mon tana, 12 to 6 here today. After three quarters of mush ing from one end of the field to the other without scores, the customers were pulled to the edges of their seats by one ot the most startling passing dis plays ever seen here. Midway in the final period, Idaho's "little giant" Smith was rushed into the field to replace Earl Smith at quarter. As soon as he laid hands on the ball he flipped a quick pass to Russell Hansowetz, halfback, who plowed 40 yards through the mire to score. CHICKEN FEED 8UCCE8S ' INDEPENDENCE, Oct 28. -The annual, fall chicken dinnner which is sponsored by the Metho dist church Boosters, was held Thursday night in the church basement. Quite a large crowd at tended and the money taken in will go tor church purposes. Mrs. C. O. Irvine, president, was in charge. Additional Sports j on page 10 1 VANDALS III clutched the pigskin. It was a cutback play. Warbur ton headed toward the right, his cleats dug in and he was off toward the left. A hole opened in tho line. The "big boys" of tha Trojan ranks couldn't have squeezed through but it was made to order for the "scooter." Warburton scooted, ducked and dodged. Half a dozen Bear tack lers clutched at him, but he seemed more slippery than . a greased pig. Out in the open, the Trojan quarterback fairly flew. The Bears In pursuit had no chance against a player who runs the quarter mile in Impressive fashion during Southern Califor nia's track season. Some 25,000 Trojan rooters made the welkin rink as Warbur ton sprinted over the last line for the points that eventually meant a fourth successive victory over one of the most bitter or rivals. Iarry Stevens muffed the try for point but Southern California's remarkable string of games with out defeat had been raised to 27. Hero to all the Trojans, War burton also just narrowly missed becoming the "goat" Shortly be fore the close of the game, he mis Judged a rolling punt and fum bled. Three Bears slid after the ball but Warburton's team mate, McNeish, subbing at left half, beat the others to the oval to recover on his own five-yard line.

A iKiy Their Lone Pass 5 Minutes - After Start Defeats Bruins 7 to 0 LOS ANGELES. Calif.. Oct. 28. (JP) Oregon's green-garbed grid sters grabbed a 7-to-0 victory from the University of California at Los Angeles today, scoring their lone touchdown on the only pass the Webfeet attempted all afternoon. Many of the 25,000 who failed to make much of a showing in the huge Memorial coliseum, were not yet in their seats when Mark Tem ple threw a low, short pass from the 12-yard line. Although three members of the Bruin secondary were within reaching distance of the ball. Bud Pozzo clutched it to his breast as he slipped to the turf in the end zone for the touch down. Coach Prince Callison rushed John Milligan into the Webfoot backfield and he kicked the goal from placement. A. 23-yard run by Temple, co captaln, had placed the ball in scoring territory on the 14-yard line, but the famous iron Mike Mikulak and Temple in three drives at the line had failed to pack up more than two yards. Then came Oregon's lone aerial effort, which meant the ball game. Oregon had received the kick- It, by'oidifci. and after failing to gain from the 4V-yard line to which point Mikulak had returned the kick, Parke punted. A penalty for holding shoved the Bruins back to their 25-yard line after a 12-yard gain, and then Charles Cheshire punted 15 short yards out of bounds on his 42. It was from this point that the scoring parade started. Coach Bill Spauldlng's team got its offense to rolling in the sec ond half with Cheshire and Joe Keeble leading the attack. Early in the third, with the ball on the Oregon 13-yard line, Cheshire passed to Ranson "Pants" Live say over the goal line, hut Live say caught the ball beyond the end zone, nullifying a touchdown. Later the Bruins carried the bail down to the Webfoot 4-yard line on Cheshire's runs and passes, c o a p 1 e d with Keeble's thrusts through the line. Here they lost it 'possession on downs and Parke kicked out of trouble. While Oregon made all the points, U. C. Tl A. ptcked up most of the yardage. They gained 111 yards to 118 for the Webtoots, and out-downed the invaders 11 to 8. Seventy-one of the Bruins yards came from five completed passes in fifteen attempts. DEFEATS SHERIDAN INDEPENDENCE, Oct. 28. The gridmen of Independence high crushed Sheridan under an 18 to 0 score on Sheridan's ex tremely mudding gridiron Friday afternoon. Though the condition of the field almost entirely pro hibited passing, it was a forward pass, Barclay to Carey, which pav ed the way for. Independence's first score. It went for 30 yards and after a series of line plays Corbett went over the goal line. After this score early in the game the contest was even until the fourth period when Indepen dence staged a consistent drive from midfield and Corbett went over again. Later Hanson on an end run broke away for 35 yards to the Sheridan 25 and a pass. Beach to Hanson, resulted in the third score. Amity high, reported to be un usually strong, will come here next Friday. SIS BEAT FIN KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Oct. 28 UP) Led by Elmer Brown, former Oregon varsity back. Southern Oregon Normal defeat ed the University of Oregon Frosh, 7 to 0, here today. The lone touchdown came in the second period when Brown passed to McFadden from the 16 yard line.
